Ascended is a Finnish Death metal band ,formed in 2006 in Pori by three young metalheads. First unaware of which course the band should take musically, along two members added to the band later, the style finally evolved to the traditional way of Death metal. The musical influences were sought from the Finnish Old-School bands like Abhorrence, Demigod, Demilich and Amorphis and American bands such as Death and Morbid Angel. After recordings of the end of 2007 and sorting out the coverart issues, band finally released their first demo "The Art of Necromancy" in 2008. In addition to the hand numbered demos ( coverart featured in video ), Aural Offerings Records distributed the bands demo with a different, red coverart.
Band's first EP "Temple of Dark Offerings" was released by Enucleation records in 2009.
Vocalist of Ascended is also featured in two other local underground bands: in STENCH OF DECAY and CHAINSAW DISMEMBERMENT as bassist.

Cartilage was a Finnish Death Metal band, from Vaasa, formed in 1991. On their founding year released Encapsulated Rehearsal and In Godly Flesh demos, of which the first one was only self-financed. 1992 they got signed to the Spanish Drowned records and appeared on a split-album with Swedish Altar.

This track is from their split-album with Swedish Altar The Fragile Concept of Affection
Lyrics :
The fear within, a darkened chasm of memory
a burial ground where my flesh is bound
Scarred mind like stitches on a dead mans back
Rotten illusions of illusions... rotten
Embalmed mind, thousand decades of dream
I lust for death and peace at last
* i cast my my wordly flesh aside
to greet the spirits of those who died
and on my funeral no-oned cried
cause all the pity i denied
chorus:
lost souls haunt me till
the dawn that i watch
and mourn on my open grave
ive sworn an oath impure
infinity calls...
obscenities cant shadow
ethereal bliss...
incisions and ill join thee
*i look upon the brightening colors of morning sky
and wonder why it seems that i dont fit in this world
[this world]
i have this urge to learn something new
anything thatll just quench this thirsty
[why do i watch the dawn]
ive found out, that in life there are no real answers
so ill just have to die to attain knowledge to my... pain!! Cartilage - Why Do I Watch the Dawn ?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AUlVcVcaIT4/mqdefault.jpg)
